Windows 10: Google Earth no longer works

Google Earth no longer works

After the automatic download of Fall Creators Update 1709 my graphics display has changed to Microsoft Basic Display
Adapter.The resolution has also changed but I can live with that.My problem is that I can no longer use Google Earth
as the basic display will not work.Everything was working perfectly before the update but I have no way of finding out
what my original graphics card was as Device Manager just shows the Microsoft basic.I do have a CD with nvidia V40 335.04
graphic card on the label but it dosen`t give any information.I was hoping an updated driver for my original graphic card
would solve my problem.Where do I go from here? Thanks.

Alternatively, if you use Chrome you use google earth with out downloading it. Open chrome, on the home page upper right next to Gmail, click the 9 square box icon/button. Once it's open scroll down to the second set of icons and click the google earth icon. It will open up in the chrome browser.

I will try to download the GT640 DRIVERS but will I be able to install them if I only have the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter.
This is the ONLY display adapter showing in Device Manager and the uninstall option is greyed out.My motherboard is an
Asus M5A78L-M/usb3 could there be any connection here?

Yes, you should be able to install the correct Nvidia driver. The reason you are seeing the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter is because Windows is using a default driver to provide you with video. Without that default driver, you wouldn't be able to see anything.

Attempted to download Nvidia GT640 drivers from GEFORCE site but got the message "Must download Java"
Neither of my two browsers Edge and Firefox will accept Java, so another dead end.Also my Nvidia Control Panel
in Control panel has been disabled.

This latest W10 seems to have a problem with Google Earth. No icon appears on the desktop, so after shutting down a new installation, there is no way to reload the program. Anyone else having this problem?

Iv'e just tried to run Google Earth and it failed. Windows tried to repair it without success, so I uninstalled it. Reinstallation has failed to produce a working copy. I'm sure that it has worked during this build (9926), has anyone had trouble...

One of my favorite Windows programs is Google Earth, in the couple of previous builds that I installed it on crashed the entire system forcing a Windows repair. I was wondering if anyone here had tried it out in any of the recent builds and how it...
